Beiyin Great Sage

After finally escaping from the underground river, he was inexplicably shackled by a group of savages and became a so-called 'gold slave'.

These 'savages' behave differently from the ordinary people in Daliang, but their physiques are terrifyingly good.

even.

Zhou Yi felt as much pressure as the innate master from the two leading men, and the Cicada Shocking Technique frequently sent warning signs.

Nowadays, his body is weak and he is far from recovering. The current situation is unclear, so he can only restrain his sharpness and be an honest prisoner.

Wait until your strength recovers before making any further calculations!

After trekking for a long time, he also had some guesses about where he was. It was most likely the Hundred Thousand Mountains mentioned by the monks of Qixuanmen.

And it may be deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

After all, the water in the culvert flows all the way south, and it is obviously not within the territory of Liang State now.

Isn’t it the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south of Liang Kingdom?

Thinking about the distance from this place when he came, he had no idea how far he had drifted underground during that time, and the time was probably beyond his imagination.

A voice sounded from the front.

"Aba...Aba..."

"This way!"

"Everyone come here!"

After all, Zhou Yi is a language major. After traveling together for more than ten days, he can already understand the simple words spoken by these people.

Crowds gather.

Not long after walking along the narrow mountain road, a huge square paved with bluestones appeared in front of you.

Um?

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Along the way, the crowd also passed through several villages. According to his observations, the lifestyle of the people here was still extremely primitive.

They live in scattered communities and make a living by hunting. Linen clothes are extremely rare, let alone brocade clothes.

The place to live is either a tree hole or a stone house.

As if uncivilized.

And in front of you.

The square, which is more than enough to accommodate ten thousand people, has a flat and smooth bluestone paved ground, and nine stone pillars with several people hugging each other stand around it.

The stone pillars are carved with dragons and phoenixes, which shows the exquisite craftsmanship.

Through the dense forest in front, you can vaguely see the cornices and brackets, and the exquisite buildings. This does not look uncivilized at all.

However, the architectural style here is indeed different from that of Liang State.

grand!

indistinct!

Solemn!

…

Even the small details do not pursue the ultimate refinement, but are splashed with ink like cursive script, and there is an atmosphere in the originality.

"Envoy!"

While Zhou Yi was surveying his surroundings, Haru, the leader of the team, had already stepped forward and walked toward the square.

He bowed his head respectfully towards the other party and said:

"Everyone has been brought."

"Um."

The man was over two meters tall but as thin as a bamboo pole. He was wearing a black robe and holding a curved cane. He tapped the ground lightly and glanced at the audience.

A pair of deep and unpredictable eyes seemed to contain shadows. Wherever they glanced, everyone lowered their heads subconsciously.

Zhou Yi's heart was beating wildly.

Practitioner!

And it seems that they are still stronger than the two people from Qixuanmen, and they are probably not much different from the person who chased him that day.

The Shocking Cicada Technique was almost out of control.

"Uru...ha..."

The tall and thin monk spoke, his voice was slow, low, and clear to the ears.

No matter what,

Can't understand!

Zhou Yi's eyes were confused.

"Whether you come here voluntarily, to undergo punishment, to atone for your sins, or to do business, since you have come to Batu Caves, you must abide by the rules here."

"otherwise,"

"The punishment of being devoured by thousands of insects and devouring your soul by evil spirits is waiting for you."

A voice as thin as a gossamer penetrated the eardrums.

Zhou Yi's eyes moved slightly and he looked sideways not far away.

There was a person there who opened his lips slightly, merged his voice into a line, and came quietly, speaking clearly the lingua franca of Liang, Song and other countries.

The sound is transmitted into the secret!

"Don't look at me, look ahead."

The voice changed and became slightly urgent:

"If we are discovered, neither you nor I will get anything good to eat!"

Zhou Yi regained consciousness and looked back towards the square.

He has met the person who sent the message.

He is also one of the "gold diggers" in the same industry. His appearance and figure are not the same as those outside, but he never expected to be able to speak the common language.

and,

The two of them had never communicated with each other along the way, so why should they help him at this time?

Suppressing the doubts in my heart, two voices entered my ears at the same time.

"As a gold digger, you need to contribute two kilograms of red gold sand every month. As long as you contribute enough to the Batu Caves, you will be given a skill inheritance."

"At the end of the ten years, you can escape from slavery and become an outer disciple of Batu Cave."

"also."

"Becoming a Tianman, or offering a thousand kilograms of red gold sand within ten years, you can get rid of slavery early and become an outer disciple."

"..."

"Remember, nothing about Batu Caves is allowed to be told outside!"

"otherwise,"

"kill!"

"Peng!"

The black-robed monk lightly tapped the wooden staff in his hand, and black smoke suddenly shot out from it. At a rough count, there were thirty or forty people, and it went straight towards the crowd.

The speed of the black smoke is astonishing.

It is comparable to a person who has achieved great success in his true energy and goes all out.

One of them fell on a person, and the black smoke immediately surged, wrapping the person directly in it.

"ah!"

Screams sounded.

It just stopped for a moment.

The black smoke squirmed like a living thing. When it left, all the flesh and skin of the man inside disappeared, leaving only a white skeleton.

Thirty or forty lines of black smoke rushed towards thirty or forty people respectively.

All of a sudden.

Screams rang out one after another, and some people tried to escape, but their heads were covered by the suddenly accelerating black smoke, and they turned into bones one after another.

Some people also pulled the people around them to cover up, but they didn't expect the black smoke to directly cover them all.

When it was completely swallowed, the black smoke became richer and thicker, as if it had substance, and hundreds of rivers merged into the sea and submerged into the wooden staff again.

"Gulu..."

Someone's throat rolled.

Someone's crotch was wet.

Some people even collapsed to the ground with their knees weak.

Even Zhou Yi's face turned pale and his eyes were full of fear.

Although he has also seen the methods of immortal cultivators, the flying sword is different from this thing. It is far from so cruel, strange and sinister.

Immortal magic?

No!

It must be an evil method!

No wonder people from the Qixuan Sect call the practitioners in Shiwan Mountain as evil cultivators. Such methods of plundering other people's essence, blood, skin and flesh are terrifying.

“Batu Caves doesn’t want waste, not even gold diggers.”

The black robe spoke:

"Remember, my name is Hanle Yede!"

"My name is Kang Rong."

Holding a bamboo tube in hand, a man squatted next to Zhou Yi, speaking in common language:

"My mother is from outside the mountains, and I learned my words from her."

"Zhou Yi." Zhou Yi cupped his hands:

"I don't know how I got here."

"It's normal."

Kang Rong nodded:

"The miasma of the Hundred Thousand Mountains is so thick, and the ghost wind is raging. Even the Qi Refiners have to go through a specific passage to get out."

"Whoever comes in, no one can tell how they got in."

Perhaps because of his mother, he was extremely enthusiastic.

"What country are you from?"

"Liang Guo." Zhou Yi said thoughtfully:

"Brother Kang, what's going on with the Batu Caves and the gold diggers?"

"The Black Wind Cave is where the immortals live. The cave is full of Qi practitioners. It is also the largest force in the surrounding area." Kang Rong explained:

"As for the gold diggers..."

"You'll know soon."

As he spoke, he patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder:

"You don't have to worry. Being a gold digger is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you can survive ten years, you can become a Batu Caves man."

“This is something many people can’t ask for!”

"certainly."

"If you can become Tianman in advance, the treatment will be better."

"Tianman." Zhou Yi asked:

"What is Tianman?"

"Uh..." Kang Rong was stunned, scratched his head, and thought for a long time before saying:

"Those who have practiced Kung Fu to a certain level are called Tianman. You also have similar names outside, like... called Xiantian?"

innate!

If you become an innate, you can become an outer disciple of Batu Cave. This is really a training sect.
